About Dramatis Personae
Dramatis Personae means “The Masks of the Drama,” and at Dramatis Personae, we strive to unveil just that. I hope to inspire men and women to explore the many facets of personality and style. I shares her own inspirations and personae, while delving in to the word of fashion, style, art, media, and life in a most theatrical manner.
Dramatis Personae was started in July 2007 as a place to share my love of clothing and shopping. It has since grown to explore style and fashion in an atypical manner, focusing less on runway and celebrity style, and more on personal style. I engage in literature, film, and art regularly, as a keen understanding of these media allow for a greater involvement in your personal style and lifestyle choices.
Some of my regular series include: “Oh-My-God, Shoes!”, “Indie Designers,” and “The Dramatis Personae.”
About Ashe Mischief
The persona of Ashe Mischief was born in 2004, the consensual love of John Serpent/John Mischief and my birth in to the shady and dank club world of New Orleans. I spent many nights a week at dark clubs, drinking cherry vodka & Rockstar, dancing to delish music and circling with smart, witty, and equally mischievous lovers.
On a day-to-day basis, I’m simply Ashley, a young woman aspiring to be a lot and make the most out of my day-to-day experiences. I have a mischievous imp of a kitten named Lottie who occasionally makes appearances. By day I work full-time with the performing arts, and have a B.A. in English Writing and Film Studies and a M.A. in Arts Administration.
Dramatis Personae has allowed me to continue my love of writing, my sense of style, and to engage with an amazing community that I am forever grateful for.
